Lately I've been spending the odd free moment of time
contemplating the use of computers by astrologers. I
have a basic question or two and I wonder what people
on the list might answer (I have no firm answers
myself).

Has the ability to cast charts so easily changed the
value of a chart? If so, in what way? I recall my
early experiences casting charts by hand and how I
could have a typical chart with some error checking
drawn up in 20 minutes, occasionally faster. Now, the
longest part of the process is entering the data into
the software. I usually just cast a chart and ignore
the whole calculation part. Sometimes I wonder what
effect that has. Any ideas? Any effect at all?

Likewise, how has the ability to do extensive transit
work changed astrology? If at all. I've actually found
myself not doing much with transits anymore and I'm
not sure if that is just an evolution in my approach,
or if the quantity of transits is too much for
consideration. Anyone else have that experience?
